The Information reported on September 19, 2025, that OpenAI is preparing to enter the consumer electronics market and is negotiating with key Apple suppliers. According to sources, Luxshare has agreed to participate in assembling at least one prototype device, and OpenAI has approached Goertek for component supply (e.g., speakers). These moves indicate intentions to build AI-native gadgets—devices designed around AI interaction rather than as smartphone accessories. Discussed form factors include smart glasses, voice recorders and wearable pins. First products are targeting late 2026 to early 2027. Former Apple designers, including Jony Ive, are involved in the effort.
